"I Just Don't Give Up" - How Do You Build a Tech Startup From Scratch? with Simon Neave

[upbeat music] Simon Neve, welcome to the Graph podcast.

Hello, Ben.

Thank you very much for taking the time to join us today.

Thank you.

Um, we're going back to our roots with Graph today.

So we've had some, kind of, very, uh, emotive stories that have been shared over the past few episodes.

This is going back to the roots of, um, where hard work gets you from a professional capacity point of view.

You are the CEO and founder of a brand called Leap, which is a sleep and activity tracking ring, and what I wanna find out today is about how the process goes of building a business and starting out on your own.

Um, but first of all, if you can give us some background from your side of things.

I know you've worked in consumer electronics for over 20 years.

Just give us headlines about how you got into that and what you did and, and where you are today.
